My Worst Day Ever

It was the best afternoon ever on July the 12th. My herd was walking to the amazing lake called Savanna Lake in Africa.  We went to the lake to drink water before the next walk.  I was playing with my two best friends called Jim and Max until Dad came and told me to stay with him.  When I went with my dad my friend's dad told their sons to stay with me too.  I was so glad that their dad  told them to stay with me. Luckily my dad told me to stay with him because I was about to meet my worst enemies. I was thinking about the day that I would hear and meet my worst enemy.  But then my dad saw a pride of lions so we ran away. When the lions saw us run away they started to chase our herd away. I was so frightened that I would die. The lions bit me and pushed me into the lake. I got my leg bitten in the lake until two crocodiles came to me and grabbed one of my legs. The three lions that pushed me into the lake grabbed my two feet at the front. They used me as a long rope playing buffalo war. When the lions got me  one held me and the two others smelled me. I was thinking that was really weird. Then my herd came back for me. One  lion just laid down and two of them ran away to there pride. The lion that just stayed almost got hit from my dad. But he is so lucky that he moved before my dad tried to get him. But when the lion moved he ran away to try and survive. My dad just ran to get it but the lion was just too fast for him.  So my dad just stopped. I felt terrified. But now I feel safe near my herd.

Finally I feel safe around my herd. I am lucky to have a family like this.

Habitat: . Field mice, beavers, bison, deer, wapiti (North American elk), moose, and caribou.

Diet: meat.

Head: Dingo

The dingo is a wild dog, thought by scientists to be the descendent of a domestic dog brought to Australia five thousand years ago from what is now Indonesia.  Dingoes are the largest land-dwelling carnivores in Australia.  When hunting, they only kill enough to feed their packs. Dingoes do not bark, but they are not mute.  They have a complex howling vocabulary, they snort, and they also purr.   Dingoes tend to mate for life.  They form small packs in which the dominant pair become the breeders.  The entire pack helps care for the young.  Dingoes can turn their heads almost 360 degrees to track other animals, such as birds in flight.

Body:Cheetah

The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah can go from 0 to 65 km (40 mi) per hour in three strides, with a single stride covering 7-8 meters (23-26 feet).  Cheetahs can reach full speed 110 km (70 mi) per hour in seconds.  They are the only cats who have nonretractile claws.   This gives them better traction, and helps maintain their footing while they run.   Cheetahs are one of the few big cats who can purr.  They also make other unusual sounds such as chirping, yelping, and bleating. Females live alone except when they are raising cubs.

Legs: pony

Relative to their size, the Shetland pony is recognized as the strongest Equid in existence.  Shetlands can pull twice their own weight, giving them about twice the power of most heavy horses.  They were domesticated around 500 B.C. and have been used all over the world for diverse purposes, from a riding horse to a plow or pack pony.  The Shetland pony is one of the most popular horses in the world.

Life For Women in WW1

W.A.L.T describe what life was like for men and women in WW1 through a diary entry.

28th July 1914

The days since you left have been miserable.

I have to wash the clothes and clean the house.

Oh how I have missed my brother Ted, I hope he's still alright.

I have to look after the kids and find food like apples and potatoes to make apple crumble for them to eat.

I have to work on the farm. I’m really worried about Ted joining the war.

I just want him safe at Gallipoli.  I want him to make friends to look after him and he look after them.

I hope Ted is alright, I just don’t want him to die.
